Surfers beach

Wednesday today. They are predicting a 50 percent chance of showers but, they have had the same general prediction for days with little or no rain so we are heading to the beach and hoping for the best. The high will be around 30 C regardless so who cares. I ran into a lady in the morning while i was getting coffee she is glad the temperatures have dropped of today and she was looking forward to the nice cool day!

Andrew picked us up just before 09:00 and we drove down to Surfers Paradise, on The Gold Coast, just north of Coolangatta. We parked in an underground lot about 100 meters from the beach. The whole area Is extremely commercial high rises shops bars etc. all sorts of locals and tourists strolling around in beach wear. We pick a spot on the beach and Diane settles in to do some people watching while Andrew and I take the Boogie boards out into the surf. MAN Is This Fun!! We spend an hour and a half in the water before coming out to have something to drink and put on more sun screen. Then back into the water for another hour before heading off the beach to get a beer and have some natchos. Di decides to do a little shopping and we agree to meet her around 3:45 then Andrew and I head back into the surf for more boogie boarding.

We head back to Brissie to barbeque some steaks at Andrew and Jadines place. Despite several applications of sun block It looks like I may have gotten too much sun today. I will know better in a day or two if I am going to lose a layer of flesh!! I am getting a personal demonstration of the ozone hole down here.
